While walking home late in the eve William Royce, captain of the city guards, discovers the corpse of his commander in what should be the safest street in the city. The only clue left behind is a bronze rook, placed amidst the commanders pool of blood.

During his investigation William discovers he's entered into a dangerous game, in which he is just a pawn, but while pawns can rise, so too can kings fall. And he is but one piece on the board.
